Thanks for the correction! Accuracy is crucial in our sport. I knew it didn’t feel right writing that distance and wanted someone to correct me! –mwhip+

If you cannot rudder it, then definitely use your rowers to help you. After you execute the turn under through Weeks, then you should say, “Even pressure,” or “Ports add back in with pressure.” Whatever you chose to say try to time it right so you don’t have over steer or hold to turn too long.

Hope your race went well,

Coming out of powerhouse, there is a big tree directly straight that has turned yellow, the others around it haven’t yet. It makes for an easy point, then come around straight through to Anderson. Should I call the ports back in pressure for those couple strokes coming under Weeks? I’ve always been close with just rudder. And yeah, the weather this weekend is going to not be fun.

Whipdog,

Spot on with this one. I really liked your comments about the warmup, and I hear this weekend is going to be nasty. As for steering the buoys, I totally agree. The only time I put them under the riggers is at Eliot (and that green Cat-in-the-Hat buoy off the BB&N dock) otherwise, it’s too little benefit for too much risk of penalty.

To expound upon that post, see the stretch from just about 100m after weeks to about 200 m after riverside, is the high school racing stretch, adn that’s 1280 m, so if you push that back 100 m, to get to riverside thats 1380m and then subtract the 200m after the finish so you get to 1180m for weeks to riverside; so the post above is almost correct on the exact distance, but i think i might be more correct. thanks again! and sorry for the irrelevance of this post! thanks for your awesome insight.
